Official 3/11 Boston Meetup/Review Thread

[Mr Walker]

The one thing Dave did that I found to be unforgivable was to tour with Hagar.
That was a bullshit move. Everyone who went to one of those shows can claim "I left during Hagar's set" "I just wanted to see Dave kick Hagar's ass" but in reality, you put money in Hagar's pocket... unacceptable! (unless you jumped the fence to get it)

[sadaist]

Yeah, well, I am already fucking sick of Elvis' tired act. He should just go hang at the Links. At this point, he'd fit in better there, than he is fitting in here.

Nah. He's just playing Devils advocate & stirring shit up. It's all good. Plus it's fun to say "shut up Elvis".

We also put money in Dave's pocket, as well as James, Ray and Brian's pockets.

My wife (RIP) was fucking pissed at me during the Detroit show. First I see Sammy sitting at a picnic table with her backstage, and then she goes out to watch his set, and I told her I would join her in a few. I never made it out there! Ha ha! She was not happy with me at that show!

Is that a lyric cheat sheet by the kick drum? That was great, but Dave needs to do his homework.

A lot of entertainers actually do this onstage ---- Axl Rose was infamous for singing off a teleprompter on the "Use Your Illusion Tour".

Dave can read off a cheat sheet anytime he wants as long as we keep getting tasty deep cuts ---- I'll fucking jizz if I hear "Drop Dead Legs" or "Sinner's Swing" performed live on this tour

[ELVIS]

Elvis said IF Dave sucked, that the fanboys would still be sucking his dick & ignoring it. His basic complaint was how with some of us Dave can do no wrong. Which is lame. A true fan should be able to criticize Dave yet still love him to death. Criticism is ok. It's like the bluegrass phase how some people still acted like it was 1981 & Dave was on fire and they refused to see anything bad ever.

But I think those types are pretty few here. There were a lot of complaints about the headset, the overalls, his weird high pitched cat wail he was using a lot back in the early 2000's (and still rears it's ugly head now & then) hell...how many hair threads have there been?

But overall, I think when we see Dave do something we dislike that we say so. But having so much respect & love for the guy for all the enjoyment he has given us, we can overlook the small stuff. Daves earned that big time.

Thanks...

And Dave IS bringing it...

For the most part...

[VAiN]

Was the headset brought back in Boston?

[DLR Bridge]

Don't get me wrong, Dave could sing the lyrics to the French National Anthem over Hang'em High, but not with his back to the crowd reading off the floor. He's ions better than that. I thought he sounded great.

First Time I saw Hagar was 1978 when he opened for Boston. I thought the name of the band was San Diego. So that shouldn't count. Next was the Can't Drive 55 show which was kind of good, actually. Next was the Tampa Monsters show in '88 and that should count against me because I did stay for VH after the Scorps were done. But I did leave the forum after Dave's set in '02 (along with a few hundred others). And for that I should get the '88 mistake erased.

[ELVIS]

Do you really think that's appropriate to discuss here ??

[moose]

Naw give him/her a break!!!

I'm sure there are loads of people here who saw spatula flatula
as well and are in good standing
Maybe a stint in the pen would absolve him/her of this
grandiose error in judgement

Boo-fucking-hoo...

[So this is love]

Guys, I must admit I have attended two fucking Vinagar shows in my life but it was for Eddie. I even passed out during one of them due to a bad mixture of chemical products ...so all in all I commited sin only once in all these years.

[guwapo_rocker]

But this is about the Boston show.

Boston / Hagar 1978. My very first concert ever!!! Haven't seen either one of them since.
